BEIJING, June 10 -- Aircraft carriers Liaoning (Hull 16) and Shandong (Hull 17) attached to the Navy of Chinese People's Liberation Army (PLA) conducted training exercise in the Western Pacific and relevant sea areas in recent days to test the troops' capabilities in far-sea defense and joint operations, said Senior Captain Wang Xuemeng, spokesperson for the Chinese PLA Navy, in a written statement released on Tuesday.

"This is a routine arrangement included in the annual training plan, aiming to improve the Chinese PLA Navy's ability to fulfill missions. The training complies with relevant international law and practice, and is not targeted at specific countries or entity," the spokesperson added.
